Is CNN fixin' to do a hatchet job on Hackett?

[quaoar]

Their promo just mentioned the Ohio race as one in which an Iraq war vet faces an uphill battle because of his views on the war.

1. he hates america

[KurtNYC]

2. Meaning what???

That he knows too much about it?

[Kagemusha]

3. Meaning supporting war is more important than being a war vet.

Is it really that hard to understand?

[Supersedeas]

13. support the troops....with a grand Neo-Conservative caveat

4. Why does Paul Hackett hate America?

:eyes:

[quaoar]

5. OK. It was just on.

Not a bad piece. Not a hatchet job. Good clip of an ex-Marine in Ohio who voted for Bush but is having second thoughts.

But it did end with a comment about how Hackett faces "a steep, uphill climb."

14. Did they quote any poll results?

Maybe there aren't any?

[quaoar]

15. No

But there was a Republican poll that leaked out a few days ago showing Hackett within the margin of error but still behind.

16. Nice

Is there a video? Hackett is having converts!

6. Does poop stink?

Of course CNN wants to sink an iceax into Hackett's back. It's what they do whenever a progressive shows a pair of balls (or ovaries, as the case may be.)

7. What views on the war?

Did they even bother to read his position?

And if yes, what do they object with?

8. It was a good clip. Good publicity

He does face an uphill battle. No doubt about it. However, CNN coverage of Hackett was good.

9. It's uphill for Hackett

Hackett is a long shot in today's election because Ohio's 2nd Conrgressional District is so numbingly GOP they'd elect a chimp for Congress if the beast were on the ballot as a Republican.

Come to think of it, they voted for a chimp for President.

10. Yeah, his appeal to tvoters has gone uphill, while Schmidts has gone down.

How can they say that when he's now ahead in the polls, unless they're describing what the graph looks like?

[Freddie Stubbs]

11. He faces an uphill battle because of the Republican nature of the district

[niceypoo]

12. He faces an uphill battle against diebold

Its the machines man, the machines.......
